[GOV] The Union of Malaysia and Thailand is being born
Prime Minister's Department
First let me welcome all Thai citizens in the newly formed union of Malaysia and Thailand. I very much hope that you'll feel this union your home just as much as you did with Thailand. I'm very sorry that this drastic measure had to be made, but because of the PTO Thailand suffered this seemed the best choice. This merger was requested by Albert Neurath, president of Thailand and as far as I know was discussed and supported in the Thai community. This is in no way a hostile attack and the intention is to build a peaceful and prosperous union together.
We will have a lot of things to iron out to make this union work for the satisfaction of both countries and communities but you can count on us trying our very best. Now onto the most pressing matters:
The war
The last region couldn't be retreated so it has to be taken in a 24 hours long battle. I'd like to ask all Thai citizens who are already on the territory of the union to travel to Peninsular Malaysia where we have a q5 hospital and fight from there for our union. More detailed instructions can be found in the newspaper of the Ministry of Defence: HERE.
If you need one please feel free to request a moving ticket under this article!
Infrastructure
Unfortunately the hospitals and defense systems of Thailand were destroyed in the merger. For now I'd like to ask every citizen to travel to Peninsular Malaysia as the region has a q5 hospital so from there you can fight with maximum efficiency and thus develop the fastest.
If the union proves stable enough in the following weeks and if the Thai citizens decide to remain in the union then I'm sure that Thailand will have a high quality hospital again in a few weeks.
Monetary market, MYR supplies
The monetary market of the MYR has completely dried up which might cause serious problems, especially to the Thai citizens and businesses. A proposal has been submitted about issuing 20000 MYR which will hopefully solve the problem. The aim is to keep the MYR at the 1 MYR = 0.01 gold exchange rate and we will print even more if needed. Till the first proposal goes through The Central Bank of Malaysia will sell MYR directly to those in need through the donation system. If you need MYR then please send a pm to the Central Bank and donate the necessary gold (at the 0.01 gold rate) for the amount of MYR you request and you'll get MYR in return. For now the daily limits are:
- 15 MYR for citizens (for 0.15 gold)
- 250 MYR for companies (for 2.5 gold)
We are looking forward to return to normal business in 2 days hopefully.
If you are a Thai citizen or company owner and would like to get rid of your THB then please message either Albert Neurath or the Central Bank of Thailand for a possible exchange into gold.
Citizenship
Our congress members have a very low amount of citizenships to hand out so I ask everyone to be patient. We will do our best at handing citizenship out to Thai citizens so that they can also vote in the union. In cooperation with Albert Neurath and his advisers a list of legit Thai citizens and a blacklist of PTOers will be composed most probably. I'd like to ask the Malaysian congress members to approve citizenships with maximal cautiousness and to check out the topics on citizenship requests at the congress section of the Malaysian forums before making a decision.
Community
The eMalaysian community is mostly English speaking just like the eThai is. So hopefully we won't have issues with a language barrier. Also ours is a friendly and open minded community with people from all over the world and I'm sure that we will get along just fine.
In order to better know each other I'd like to ask the members of the Thai community to join us also:
- at our forums: HERE.
- and in our chatroom: #erepublik.my at rizon.net
I wish all of you much success and a fun time in the Union. Let's lead Thailand and Malaysia into prosperity together!
Best regards,
Nagyzee

To all Thai citizens, welcome to the Union!
ok... Hi! I love(d) Thailand. Hope that's the right way to go.
albert the new judas of the thai people!! he sold us out 4 his own gain! send this so called patriot to the trash bin of the ehistory...he deseves to be there! what pto...which invaders...when he felt his position in jeopardy he sold everybody just to remain in the cards ...20 silver coins...that's his name from today!!!
milford66, too bad that you are one of the PTOers.
Nagyzee, Thank you for taking the time and consideration to help out the people of Thailand. It was a decision that had many weights to consider.
Albert, Thank you for helping to smooth everything over and make the union happen.
Both of you are A-OK in my book.
welcome thailanders(?)!! hope you enjoy eLife in the malay-thai union!
This is weird.
This is outrageous in my opinion, eThailaind being washed off the map. I hope it comes back one day either from CONTRACT or by FORCE
Well Fiquei, then you should rejoice that that you are not here to experience this catastrophe. ffs, eThailand have been under a PTO from Romanians, and we in Malaysia have answered the people who have been active in Thailand for months request for help. We have also helped Indonesia from having an enemies next-door. Sure, I can understand if some Thais have a problem with this affair, but at the same time, one can't satisfy everyone and one can't make everyone happy, and this is the current situation. If you dislike it as a real Thai-citizen, then I would like help you to feel more happy and content with your life in Malaysia, and if you are a PTO-guy then I don't give a shit about you.
After all, we have just followed the request from our Thai-friends, from both our, the Thai and Indo-congress, governments from over 3 countries, and all of this due of two reasons: Because we wanted to help Thailand from the PTO, and because we would hate if the calm and security of this region of eRepublik would be destroyed.
I am an ex-Thai citizen, I was born there(eborn) and moved out in November, after the whole TNT scandal. I love eThai to death, and I am saddened to see it go, due to the PTO. But this must be done, and as you said not everyone can be pleased.
I'm Thai in RL, and it's really hard to cope with the whole situation. Also, what about all my THB? It inflated 100%. I'm really sad. I put a lot of work into eThailand, and its hard to see it go. I don't want it to go, but I know(even though it kills me, I even almost quit) it must be done. 🙁
I support the future reestablishment of an independent e-thailand.
This is hard and I wished we could have talked openly about the merger. I accept and agree with the reasons for the secrecy, its just a lot to ask that I suddenly accept my ethailand not existing any more. I can tell you I am apprehensive about this, but I am sure given time this merger will work.
I must say, what a bold and decisive act President Albert!
I think it's great, it really pulled the rug from under the feet of the Romanians, they're fuming about it. Malasia or should I say MaiThai seems nice and not too drastically different to Thailand.
Hello there Malayland longtime eThai citizen moved to America to hep out in the war effort returned home but ended up in a foriegn nation well the loyalty i have for eThai is now transferred here in Thailaysia well heres to a good union and new friendships!
I propose a new flag to honour this union.
